Earthquake-proofing reinforcing metal fitting

摘要

A reinforcing holder against vibrations for mounting on orthogonally joined architectural structural members for a wooden building so it can withstand vibrations from an earthquake. The reinforcing holder comprises a first reinforcing base member 1 which is formed on a steel plate bent by 90° and secured to a first architectural structural member and a second reinforcing member 2 formed of a steel plate bent by 90° which is arranged symmetrically with the first reinforcing base member 1 through a hinge 4 and secured to a second architectural structural member. The second reinforcing base member has absorbing members 3 , each having rubber elasticity and being mounted at plurality of locations thereof, for securing to the second architectural structural member with the absorbing members 3 interposed.
